Delina let out a silent scream at these very concrete examples. Amidst the chilling atmosphere, Damian was nonchalant.
“It’s okay. I’m not afraid of anything, really.”
Damian’s calm response to Noah and Vincent was quite impressive. In the midst of a precarious situation, Delina fervently wished for the gathering to end quickly.
“If it’s the Runean Empire, I’ve heard of it too. I’ve heard there are many interesting things.”
This time, Celine spoke to Damian.
“I’d also like to visit the Runean Empire someday.”
“…Is that so.”
Damian responded quietly to Celine’s bright smile. Celine continued speaking.
“Come to think of it, the Runean Empire has many fascinating sights… That’s right, Delina. You can do something amazing too.”
“Huh?”
“What you showed me before. Can you show it again? The one where cards poured out from your hands.”
“…You want me to do that? Now?”
Delina asked in response to Celine’s request. Sylvia then chimed in.
“That’s right. By the way, didn’t you know that Youngae can do such things?”
“…No.”
“You haven’t shown it since the palace banquet a long time ago. So, I was curious… How about showing it now?”
With Sylvia’s words, the maids around Celine began to whisper. Sylvia’s mouth curled up endlessly as she surveyed her surroundings.
“It’s said that you, a court jester sponsored by the Grand Duke, can do it, isn’t that right?”
Known as a court jester sponsored by the Grand Duke, there had never been anyone who had asked Delina to perform. However, the daughter of the Grand Duke, Celine, made the request. Simultaneously, Sylvia’s voice became noticeably louder.
“Come to think of it, you two might not know. Here, Floren Youngae is actually famous as a court jester.”
“…Is that so.”
“Yes. I don’t think it’s a title fitting for a noblewoman… But still, since Youngae likes it, what can we do? Right, Floren Youngae?”
It was Sylvia who brought up the court jester story to Damian at this moment. Now, the attention of the maids and young men who were at other tables was also focused on Delina.
“…?”
“Oh my, can’t you do it? Youngae?”
Watching Delina remain silent, Sylvia covered her rising mouth with a fan and asked. Then Delina opened her mouth.
“No, I can do it, of course. I was just thinking about what kind of performance to do for a moment.”
“…Is that so?”
It was clear that Sylvia was mocking her under the pretext of a performance. However, Delina smiled at Sylvia.
“To perform, I need Youngae’s cooperation. Would that be okay?”
“Me?”
“Yes. Don’t worry. You just have to sit there.”
“…Alright. What is it?”
“Just take off the necklace you’re wearing right now and give it to me.”
“What?”
Perplexed by Delina’s words, Sylvia clenched her necklace with her hand. Delina knew well why Sylvia hesitated. The necklace, which clearly looked precious, was one of the representative necklaces of the Rose Lip Viscount family.
“This, this one?”
“Yes. Why? Don’t you like it?”
“…?”
“If you, who want to see my performance more than anyone else, don’t cooperate like this, it becomes difficult for me too. Then, let’s skip the performance… ”
“No. I’ll give it to you.”
In response to Delina’s smirking smile, an irritated Sylvia quickly unclasped her necklace. Then, as if challenging how impressive a performance Delina was planning, Sylvia widened her eyes and looked at Delina and the necklace.
“You must be showing an equally amazing performance in return, right?”
“Of course. Even if others don’t know, Lady Rose Lip will be extremely surprised, probably.”
“What…”
Before Sylvia could ask again, Delina lifted the necklace high.
“Now, everyone. I will show you a performance where this necklace completely disappears from the world.”
